What guests say
9.4 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 99 guest reviews
The 1872 Denham Inn earns consistently glowing sentiment, with guests overwhelmingly praising the exceptional homemade breakfasts, beautifully restored Victorian property, and the warm hospitality of host Pat. The handful of genuine concerns — claw-foot shower safety, very tall antique beds, cold upper-floor rooms in winter, and a hazardous parking walkway — are worth noting, particularly for guests with mobility limitations, but they do little to dampen an otherwise outstanding guest experience.
